Beautiful ocean view apartment!!
Pros:

The ocean view is stunning! The apartment is super clean, simple, fresh, airy and light! Very comfortable, well equipped. The resort itself is beautiful and facilities are all well kept and clean. I would most definitely stay here again as we are often in the area for sports tournaments. Highly recommend the mandolin! Also check in was easy as key box on site!

Pros:

Lovely spot the owners or managers were lovely and friendly, the place was tidy clean and look nice when you walked in .

Cons:

We had painters come and open our door to paint it and we weren't asked or told, I was out and husband was in bed ,keys and wallets were on the coffee table , and they left the door open to dry . I do understand they need to do up keep and they may have forgot to tell us about it , but it made it a bit uncomfortable and less private . So I would say that bit wasn't pleasant . Please dont put this on your review page were customers can see it ,as I dont want to give your place a bad name . Thank you Rhonda Hinds

Excelente departamento, bien equipado frente al Club de Surf de Alexandra Headland, Sunshine Coast.
Pros:

El departamento es grande y bien equipado (incluye lavadora y secadora), queda justo frente al Club de Surf de la playa de Alexandra Headland, y a pasos de una parada de bus, por lo que la ubicación es muy buena. Puedes llegar facilmente a todas las otras playas de Sunshine Coast. Noosa queda a una hora en bus, para tenerlo como referencia

Cons:

Sugiero cambiar algunos utencilios de cocina, y arreglar el refrigerador, que tiene un ruido que resulta muy molesto por las noches.
